We will join an impressive and growing coalition of progressive national and state organizations committed to improving the quality and accessibility of healthcare for all Americans, including Our Revolution, Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), National Nurses United (NNU), Communications Workers of America (CWA), Healthcare NOW, Social Security Works, National Organization for Women (NOW) and many others to develop a roadmap to a “Medicare For All” single payer healthcare system by 2020. We will share ideas and strategies, and by the end of the weekend we will be ready to implement a plan to organize and mobilize voters in our own local communities. We are all united by the conviction that healthcare is a human right, not just a benefit for the privileged few! Nina Turner, president of Our Revolution, is among the exciting keynote speakers. In addition to myself, other speakers will include Michael Lightly, NNU Public Policy Director; Alex Lawson, Executive Director, Social Security Works; FL State Senator Annette Taddeo (SD-40); Attorney General candidate Ryan Torrens; U.S. Senate candidate Tamika Lyles; Congressional candidate Dr. Alina Valdes; Michael Fox, PDA Deputy Executive Director; Thomas Kennedy, Deputy Political Director, Florida Immigration Coalition; Stephanie Myers, candidate for State House District 93; and Nicole Sandler, popular progressive radio host and blogger.
